Pete Davidson is hilarious but his roles on SNL are usually awkward and unfunny. It is mainly because instead of making a sketch just for him to show of his comedic talent, they put him in a lot of sketches with unimportant roles just to attract younger audience.
Pete could write his own sketches if he wanted to have a recurring character and be on the show more, that's what Seth Meyers did and he worked his way up to the top. but he doesn't have to and honestly im guessing that he really just doesn't care enough anymore. if he does actually try to get sketches on its probably bc they're not funny enough. I dont really follow him tho so idk
He’s mediocre, but they’re going to keep him for as long as possible. Not because he attracts the younger crowd, but because he’ll probably kill himself (literally) if he got fired.
Lol boy I love it when people make this joke. No one: (said nothing) it's just so goddam funny, because there's a blank space after no one lmao. Of course *no one* said nothing but you typed it in, and then made the point that this guy did something no one asked for just hilarious on so many levels whew.
Also it affects the actual writing of the show. We've had back to back Comedian hosts like Chris Rock, Bill Burr, Kristen Wiig, and Dave Chappelle. All of which were hilarious and the Comedians got to write some of their own sketches. Here just from watching "Gen Z Hospital" we all know who wrote half these sketches.
But still that one has more views than the episodes around it like anya Taylor joy’s episode was the best week and it was funny but it didn’t get any attention whereas elon musk dragged the show and wasn’t funny but it got ton of views It’s like we people are attracted to controversy
"Comedy with an agenda is not comedy because its not meant to make people laugh, it's meant to make people agree; and I just wanna laugh." -Drew Gooden That is the quote of the century
As a 20-year-old, I just recently started watching SNL, because I used to think it was all dumb. Now I realized you have to carefully choose which sketches you watch (depending on actors, sketch title, and video thumbnail lol). And having no nostalgic attachment to any era, I agree with Drew that the late 90s to around 2011 was the funniest era.
@@TheListenerCanon It's looking more and more like he's gonna take over once Lorne Michaels retires. I hope so because Kenan is so godamm versatile and understands the humor in all the sketches he's in, be it the traditional sketches to the weird and experimental ones. It gives me hope that if he were to become the head of the show, he'd be more open to different and more modern kinds of humor, something Lorne has never really been and something that drags the show down due to Lorne's giant influence on what sketches get shown.
"Comedy with an agenda is not comedy... Because it's not meant to make people laugh - it's meant to make people agree." Drew, funny man, I couldn't agree more. *WAIT*
😅 But on a serious note comedy with an agenda is still valid. But yes I agree that it can start feeling preachy very easily. Ergo don't forget to be funny I guess 😎
@@MiloKuroshiro Eh, that's a bit of an oversimplification. The message isn't what's important in comedy. It's not about agreeing. It's about being funny enough that even people who disagree can laugh along and say that they see the point. Its not about the audience agreeing with the message. It's about agreeing with what's funny about the message.
I strongly disagree with this point. It's very true that comedy with an agenda can often go off the rails in service of that agenda, but comedy can also be used as a very effective way of communicating ideas, including opinions. I guess what's important is whether it's done skilfully - it's probably harder to do good comedy with an agenda, because the work is in service of two goals - and whether the agenda eclipses the humour. But the idea that something can't do both things - make people laugh, and make people agree - is kind of ridiculous. It's a balance that has to be struck, for sure, but generally creative works are striking all kinds of balances. It's part of the craft. Anyway, I've never seen a complete episode of SNL, but I'm very willing to believe the anti-Trump stuff is bad. Plenty of political humour is ham-fisted, lacking in insight, and kind of pointless. I just think it's a mistake to jump from that to "comedy can't want to do anything other than make you laugh". I think that's hugely limiting.
it's basically a live show that runs every Saturday for over 40 years. I think it comes out of New York but idk. I'm American and have never seen a full episode.
i love how drew is not just a commentary & reactions channel but also a review channel . it makes the vid seem more professional and like smart whilst also being chill and funny . love it
I’ve been watching Drew for nearly a year now and I know he’s the “road work ahead” guy, but by God I must be an idiot bc I just realized why he has the sign in the background, I thought it was just aesthetic but its a road work ahead sign
Kaylee Riera “road work ahead” “uh yeah I sure hope it does” the sign actually means that road construction is ahead, but he says “I sure hope it does” to mean that the sign is saying the the road is working and can drive on it
and its not just that they're preachy, its that the current reality is so ridiculous that you cant make a satire of it. a lot of the time they end up just repeating verbatim what someone actually said.
I feel like every new snl writer and cast member should be required to watch this video before they can write a single sketch; that's how on point it is.
He's preparing for the inevitable divorce, where he gets kicked out of the house, has half his finances taken and then Chad from the bar moves in to bang his ex-wife's brains out. Sorry mate, you wont be spared.

commenting from December 2023. I've been subscribed to you for a very long time, and I remember watching this video the day you released it, living in an Airbnb in the state hundreds of miles away from everyone i knew, because I followed someone I was in love with (shocker , they were awful) going back and watching this video now like four or five years later, I have my own apartment now and I'm thriving and I'm making money, and I just feel so awesome to watch something when I saw it on release and I was doing so much worse than I am now. just super cool, thanks for listening to my TED talk
so basically just put bill hader, fred armisen, andy samberg, seth meyers, amy poehler, maya rudolph, john mulaney and tina fey in an episode and it's done
I enjoyed it in its prime but now I find myself watching it but not enjoying my time with it so...I'm not sure what they did wrong but it has changed to be sure
"Comedy with an agenda isnt trying to make you laugh, it's trying to make you agree, and I just wanna laugh" - Drew Gooden 2019 Best quote on comedy since the 70s
David Clinging I’ve been combing the comments for an actual response to that, thank you! I get why people don’t always enjoy comedy with an agenda but, not only is it comedy, it’s been historically important for a very long time.
Honestly, the reason I like to watch SNL is precisely to see, taking into account all the limitations (time, etc.), what they're gonna do each week. Sometimes it's good, sometimes not, but to me the appeal is the "trying" that's interesting in itself.
Dude I feel like you handled the politics subject really well? You did the research, expressed your opinion, but stayed factual. That was refreshing. This is why I am subscribed. I mean you're the *only* channel on UA-cam...But yeah!
just thinking about how great this video was and how I wanted to comment about how i wish you’d make more videos like this, and then I got called out for an opinion that isn’t even mine. thanks a lot Drew
Occasionally a nerd being a “nerd” is associated with.. ok I CANT explain why but I know exactly why they’re calling it “nerdily” and I don’t think they mean it as an insult
Mooney’s dorky sense of humor is amazing. Also SNL in the early 80s was famously terrible and Eddy Murphy had a ton of weight on his shoulders to not make it a dumpster fire.
yep yep yep! i wish drew mentioned them, the digital shorts were amazing and lazy sunday was like one of the first viral videos on youtube which is insane
I love that though. I always got a little kick out of making PowerPoints. I guess anything can be entertaining during college classes but that's just me 😂 if I had a reason, I'd love to make a PowerPoint. Kinda nostalgic as well.
I honestly really liked it. They knew what they were doing 100%, like with the Oogi Show and the Gen Z hospital which very much intended to be as cringe as possible. is that good writing? that's up for debate, it doesn't land for me, but I don't think it was bad. Chad on Mars, the Western sketch, and Elon Wario were absolute classics for me. and everything else aside, Elon does have Aspbergers, which is pretty apparent if you just watch his speech, mannerisms, etc during his monologue. It's not particularly easy to just get up in front of that many people and perform, and in that sense I think he did a great job.
@Sharko two cast members made one comment on Twitter, neither of which suggested he shouldn’t be hosting. you were sold a narrative that has no basis. also, it was actually a pretty funny episode
this was such a well put-together video. you speak so well and you delivered your topic and points very nicely. please do more videos like this. amazing job.
I get what he's saying but honestly comedy/satire is one of the best ways to make an argument. Sure it isn't everyone's cup of tea (it's clearly not Drew's), but that doesn't mean that it isn't effective or funny.
@@spacelizbian3237 yes but theres a noticable difference between creating comedy as the vector for your biases and constructing comedy for the sake of humor.
Jordie Jordan that’s not really making an argument though- political jokes that are meant to be humorous and are actually well thought out/clever CAN be funny while also having a message, it’s just that the snl ones are more focused on being surface-level jabs than something deeper and more comedic.
I agree. I think the main reason l they're not as funny is that they're almost always mean spirited now, and almost always supporting only one side of the political spectrum.
@@fusetunes Political jokes are like, "I'm political party. You are opposing political party." *opposing party does something idiotic, while the first one doesn't* *cues laugh track*
honestly, i feel like everyone's fav snl era is always the ones that occur when you're in your late teens/early 20s. i personally love the current (2015- now ish) snl, I think the cast is phenomenal.
I feel like SNL is like an "audition show", where people go try to be funny in a stress-driven, very challenging environment to learn about production and writing...and then they move on to better jobs
@@voluntaryismistheanswer Cool edgy comment. Way to disagree with someone in a condescending manner, in a totally unique way to the average dickhead UA-cam comment. Here's that attention you were looking for
I just wanna take a second to appreciate how much effort and research and time go into this video. Everything Drew says is thought out and well worded. Even though these videos are pretty long, I don't get bored watching them and they don't feel rambly. Everything Drew says has a point. I love this channel so much.
"Comedy with an agenda is not comedy, because it's meant to make people agree, not make people laugh" Who knew that the first and only channel on UA-cam would be so profound?
@@misund3rst0od10 george carlin was so anti PC and that was part of his gig! the left has gone completely pc gestapo! these lefties are "triggered" by every little fucking thing. they don't like comedy. they like people agreeing with them. they are such butt-hurt, psychotic drama queens.
Dont know obviously the whole basis of this video is because of people who say it’s not funny anymore, that’s the whole point. so yes, that’s exactly what happened.
I feel like one of the only actual great actors on SNL at this moment is Kenan Thompson. I watched skits that he was in as a promo for his new show and I loved them. At first I just walked into my dad's room and saw it playing and I was like "are these just the funniest snl sketches compilation" and he said it was a promo compilation. I think that since he's had so much experience for 18 years then also being on All That( Which is a show a old show on Nickelodeon which had sketches). There are also amazing actors like Kate Mckinnon, Beck Bennet, Alex Moffat, and a few more that are good but Kenan Thompson is the best actor on SNL.
Pete Davidson is so heavily misused on SNL. He’s SO funny but SNL either throws him in the background or gives him a role that he can’t show how funny he is
They did that after he confronted production about how every single sketch was political and boringly anti-trump. He never got many good parts after that.
@@lunajayde_xx I find that dew and Danny both deliver there jokes in a very similar fashion to Mulaney. Drew and Danny seem to also have some slight New York accent coming through when they talk. I don't know where they are from, I just started watching some of their vids but I noticed a Mulaney influence/delivery similarity right away.
@Mailroom Clerk what the fuck are you talking about, John mulaney is a very popular and well-respected comedian, do you know what you are talking about?
@Mailroom Clerk saying he isnt popular or respected is literally just completely false, its just an easily debunked lie, on top of thinking you are more funny than you are, you're just fucking dumb.

I've been subscribed to you for a very long time, and I remember watching this video the day you released it, living in an Airbnb in the state hundreds of miles away from everyone i knew, because I followed someone I was in love with (shocker , they were awful) going back and watching this video now like four or five years later, I have my own apartment now and I'm thriving and I'm making money, and I just feel so awesome to watch something when I saw it on release and I was doing so much worse than I am now. just super cool, thanks for listening to my TED talk

"Comedy with an agenda isnt trying to make you laugh, it's trying to make you agree, and I just wanna laugh"
- Drew Gooden 2019
Best quote on comedy since the 70s
Hobo they’re going for that sweet,sweet clapter
That's pretty stupid.
David Clinging I’ve been combing the comments for an actual response to that, thank you! I get why people don’t always enjoy comedy with an agenda but, not only is it comedy, it’s been historically important for a very long time.
Honestly the quality of SNL skits _completely_ depend on the actors. It could be *horrible scripting* and a hilarious actor could make it great.
Mmm watcha sayyyy
This is very true, my favorite all time snl episode is the one where charles barkley hosted in 2012, just a weird episode but Charles steals the show
Hilarious/good actors can only make a terrible script okay imo
I thought the video was titled “is SNL skinny” and clicked right away

@@beebo- more than likely

@@bamallama thank you :)
@beebo Is your name a Panic! reference, or am I mistaken?
Honestly, the reason I like to watch SNL is precisely to see, taking into account all the limitations (time, etc.), what they're gonna do each week. Sometimes it's good, sometimes not, but to me the appeal is the "trying" that's interesting in itself.
Dude I feel like you handled the politics subject really well? You did the research, expressed your opinion, but stayed factual. That was refreshing. This is why I am subscribed. I mean you're the *only* channel on UA-cam...But yeah!

Yes!!
Deadass
Yes Kyle's channel is the fucking best
Drew: when John Mullaney comes on it’s good
Me: *we know your secret*
Beck, Cecily and Kate are my favourites. I appreciate that snl has embraced female comedians instead of making them side characters in the sketch.
just thinking about how great this video was and how I wanted to comment about how i wish you’d make more videos like this, and then I got called out for an opinion that isn’t even mine. thanks a lot Drew

Mooney’s dorky sense of humor is amazing. Also SNL in the early 80s was famously terrible and Eddy Murphy had a ton of weight on his shoulders to not make it a dumpster fire.
The stefon wedding sketch with Bill hader and seth myers before they left will always have a place in my heart
Nice pfp
Of course, Stefon will always be my fav character they made 😂
Violet Hetherington stefon is my favourite character in SNL and i have so many photos of him in my room
The fact that all of the weird things Stefon mentions are in the crowd makes it even better 👌
Idk why but I always cry when I watch it

Andy Samberg, at least for me, made the 2000s SNL what it was. The Lonely Island is some of the funniest sketches they've done.

*Everybody
Lol randomly thought of this video after the Elon monstrosity
I didn't even watch that episode but I heard it was a disaster
@@sOriginalMan-bw8de What happened in it?
I honestly really liked it. They knew what they were doing 100%, like with the Oogi Show and the Gen Z hospital which very much intended to be as cringe as possible. is that good writing? that's up for debate, it doesn't land for me, but I don't think it was bad.
Chad on Mars, the Western sketch, and Elon Wario were absolute classics for me.
and everything else aside, Elon does have Aspbergers, which is pretty apparent if you just watch his speech, mannerisms, etc during his monologue. It's not particularly easy to just get up in front of that many people and perform, and in that sense I think he did a great job.
@Sharko two cast members made one comment on Twitter, neither of which suggested he shouldn’t be hosting. you were sold a narrative that has no basis.
also, it was actually a pretty funny episode
@dulapeep he has asbergers and isn’t a professional actor. it was charming and with his limitations, I thought he did a great job
this was such a well put-together video. you speak so well and you delivered your topic and points very nicely. please do more videos like this. amazing job.
Agree
Bill Hader Is the love of my life. Just had to say that

"Comedy with an agenda isnt trying to make you laugh, it's trying to make you agree, and I just wanna laugh"
- Drew Gooden
I get what he's saying but honestly comedy/satire is one of the best ways to make an argument. Sure it isn't everyone's cup of tea (it's clearly not Drew's), but that doesn't mean that it isn't effective or funny.
@@spacelizbian3237 yes but theres a noticable difference between creating comedy as the vector for your biases and constructing comedy for the sake of humor.
Jordie Jordan that’s not really making an argument though- political jokes that are meant to be humorous and are actually well thought out/clever CAN be funny while also having a message, it’s just that the snl ones are more focused on being surface-level jabs than something deeper and more comedic.
I agree. I think the main reason l they're not as funny is that they're almost always mean spirited now, and almost always supporting only one side of the political spectrum.
@@fusetunes Political jokes are like, "I'm political party. You are opposing political party." *opposing party does something idiotic, while the first one doesn't*
*cues laugh track*

I just wanna take a second to appreciate how much effort and research and time go into this video. Everything Drew says is thought out and well worded. Even though these videos are pretty long, I don't get bored watching them and they don't feel rambly. Everything Drew says has a point. I love this channel so much.

Who Cares? It’s like he heard someone saying snl isn’t funny and got upset so he made a video

I feel like one of the only actual great actors on SNL at this moment is Kenan Thompson. I watched skits that he was in as a promo for his new show and I loved them. At first I just walked into my dad's room and saw it playing and I was like "are these just the funniest snl sketches compilation" and he said it was a promo compilation. I think that since he's had so much experience for 18 years then also being on All That( Which is a show a old show on Nickelodeon which had sketches). There are also amazing actors like Kate Mckinnon, Beck Bennet, Alex Moffat, and a few more that are good but Kenan Thompson is the best actor on SNL.

@@MinimiMax Hamlet wins because of the skull. God, that skull was great.
Pete Davidson is so heavily misused on SNL. He’s SO funny but SNL either throws him in the background or gives him a role that he can’t show how funny he is
Yes!! He is always amazing on Weekend Update, I think that's where he feels more comfortable and has his chance to shine
That's because his range is quite less. He can't do stuff which Kate or Kenan do
Probably because he doesn’t fit in the so called agenda..
*Oh Ok*
They did that after he confronted production about how every single sketch was political and boringly anti-trump. He never got many good parts after that.
"mean spirited." That is the perfect way to put it, in my opinion.
Drew is literally John Mulaney 3:01
Looks like him
Talks like him
Has his humor
This is why I love Drew
RedArrow 48 I know right I had that thought too
I had that same thought but about Danny. I can see this, too, though.
@Axel Hicks yea, did you not read what I said? I love him because he has the same humor as my fave comedian.
@@lunajayde_xx I find that dew and Danny both deliver there jokes in a very similar fashion to Mulaney. Drew and Danny seem to also have some slight New York accent coming through when they talk.
